Hello Hanggoye,

Welcome.
Nice entrance with such a hilt.
Your remark about the suasa.
Do you mean you had it tested, or that the suasa is newly made ?

Best regards,
Willem

it's not new made..this suasa come with tajung when i bought it..but i not sure if it come with this hilt in the same date it was make or the suasa is added after the tajung was finished..but from my opinion this suasa is not newly made...do you have another idea??

I love the piece. I love swassa! (notice my avatar

)

But there are other nice metal decor on it as well that makes this stand out.

I agree that while the hilt is beautiful that the quality of the carving is somewhat coarse and not the work of a master carver. Rick's suggestion to Pepper to take a look at the book Spirit of Wood is a good one. What i would be interested in know is does this mean that the work is more recent or just done long ago by a less skilled carver? I don't really know that much about tajong.

This hilt has the shadow of a great tajong hilt.
